Writers Needed: Spring 2007 Issue
Writers Needed
Blackfly Magazine is looking for writers for its third issue on wide-ranging matters concerning Ontarians.
We want pitches for articles between 250 words to 3000 words in length.
We are most interested in articles about marginalized groups and underrepresented subjects.
Some areas we're interested in for the spring issue:
• Environmental impacts of governmental policies or industry activities in the province
• Other Environmental issues (nuclear power/logging/water/air quality)
• Women's Issues
• Queer issues
• Social services in small town/rural/Northern Ontario
• Labour issues (minimum wage/injuries at work/harassment in the workplace)
• Ongoing issues on reserves and amongst aboriginal communities
But don't feel contained by those topics – as long as it's Ontario progressive and interesting, we want to hear about it!
If you are interested in reviewing books or cds, or in writing an article but don't know what to write about we also encourage you to get in touch.
We are also interested in other media for our website like audio files, extra images and extended interviews. When you pitch, please indicate if any of these things will be included.
Pitches for articles are due Sunday, January 28, 2006 at 11:59PM
Completed articles are due Wednesday, February 28, 2006 at 11:59PM
Pitches should be sent to Jenn Watt: editor@blackflymagazine.com.
For more information on how to pitch and to read about Blackfly, please visit our website: http://www.blackflymagazine.com
Blackfly Magazine still does not have the funding to financially compensate anyone (including its staff), but as a (small) token of our appreciation all writers will receive a free subscription and t-shirt for their contributions.
(Blackfly is also always accepting pitches for articles and audio/video files to appear on the "Web Exclusive" section of our website, especially regarding issues that are too time-sensitve to appear in quarterly publication.)
